Each moment contains a hundred messages from God. To every cry of, 'Oh God,' He answers a hundred times, 'I am here.' " Secrets of Divine Lovewas written for the longing heart, for the one who is searching for something they have not been able to find. For the one who sometimes spirals into hopelessness and cannot help but feel too imperfect for a perfect God to love. This book is for the one who is at the edge of their faith, who has experienced religion as a harsh winter instead of the life-bearing spring it was sent to be by God. To be a true Muslim means to look at every creature of God and say the following: I honor the sacredness of your life, regardless what you believe; if the Creator of the universe has decided to create you from the spirit of His love, then by virtue of your very existence, you are more than enough for me". When we read only the parts of the Quran that resonate with us and ignore the parts we don't agree with, we run the risk of shaping the scripture around our likes and dislikes, instead of allowing the book to shape us.In fact, it has been said that the distance between our head and our heart is approximately 18 inches, but it is arguably the longest journey we will spiritually ever take". Don't expect the book to be another mainstream spirituality book, it's a waay beyond that as it speaks to the heart and captivates it right starting from its Introduction. Experience the love of Allah: Discover divine love through inspiring stories, powerful verses from the Qur’an, and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

Ramadan teaches us how discipline and boundaries don’t restrict our freedom, but actually lay the foundation for true freedom. Our addictions enslave us. Our attachments to our desires enslave us.” Helwa writes: Aku beli Secrets of Divine Love sebab ramai yang cerita kata buku ini best. Jadinya, aku pun beli lah bulan 11 tahun lepas. Tapi aku tak terus baca, sebab selalunya kalau buku yang genrenya berat sikit macm spiritual dan Berbahasa Inggeris ini, aku ambik masa sikit nak habiskan. Aku tak boleh habiskan dalam masa yang pendek, sebab kena baca satu-satu, cuba hadam & buat self-reflection

Success!

As long as our happiness is dependent on things we cannot control, we will never experience contentment." READING WITH AN OPEN HEART W hen we open our hearts to the light of God the answers to our most bewildering questions begin to blossom. It is my hope that through reading this book with an open heart you will have an experience of God, instead of simply acquiring new information about God. There are many techniques and experiences that summon the opening of the spiritual heart. One of the ways of doing this is by taking a few deep breaths, placing your hand on your chest, and following your breath down to your heart. This may be followed by setting the intention to listen and read these words not just from your mind but with the eyes and ears of your heart. Even if our doubts span an entire ocean, the light of God’s wisdom can rise beyond the furthest horizons and illuminate our hearts with contentment. My deep prayer is that this book will give you a taste of this. Simply put: this is my favourite Islamic book I have ever read so far. Truly inspiring, compassionate, heartwarming, sentimental, and eye-opening. A. Helwa delicately discusses the many aspects of Islam including the question of God, who we are, the ‘mysterious’ world of the Qur’an, the spiritual dimension of Islam, repentance, the shahadah, salat (prayer), zakat, Ramadan, Hajj, death, and the mysteries of Heaven and Hell. Most of the things discussed are things we already know, but in my opinion A. Helwa’s writing has the power to make me sit down, internalise and reflect the practices of Islam that I have taken for granted. It also helps me put my life: the good and the bad in perspective. Adapun bukti lain mengenai banyaknya cinta dan kasih Allah yaitu melalui luasnya ampunan yang Allah berikan. Sebanyak apapun dosa yang manusia miliki, Allah pasti akan mengampuninya, asalkan saja manusia tersebut benar-benar bertaubat. Allah SWT sudah berjanji di dalam Al-Quran, yang berbunyi: “Dan hendaklah kamu meminta ampun kepada Tuhanmu dan bertobat kepada-Nya. Niscaya Dia akan memberi kenikmatan yang baik kepadamu sampai kepada waktu yang telah ditentukan dan Dia akan memberi kepada tiap-tiap orang yang mempunyai keutamaan (balasan) keutamaannya.” (QS Hud: 3).

More than ever, we are in need of content like this that shines a luminous light on a faith that is frequently misunderstood.” This book speaks to our very fears and insecurities, it offers a reassuring hug and wills us to keep going, to unveil the layers shielding our eyes from Allah’s love and mercy: “We must be honest with how we feel, because we cannot receive God’s deep healing if we continuously avoid facing our pain.” So often we are asked where and how one accesses the inner heart of the Islamic tradition, and now I can say, here it is!”Masih banyak orang yang tidak menyadari bahwa rezeki yang diperoleh dari bekerja adalah sebuah pemberian. Allah itu Ar-Razzaq sebagaimana firmannya di dalam Al-Quran Surat Saba ayat 39, yang artinya: “Katakanlah, sesungguhnya Tuhanku melapangkan rezeki bagi siapa yang dikehendaki-Nya di antara hamba-hamba-Nya dan menyempitkan bagi (siapa yang dikehendaki-Nya)’. Dan barang apa saja yang kamu nafkahkan, maka Allah akan menggantinya dan Dia-lah sebaik-baik pemberi rezeki,”.

Just as clouds cannot affect the presence and power of the sun’s light, but can alter our experience of the intensity of the light, sin can veil our perception of our inner goodness, but it cannot change it". the Qur’an says, “If God were to punish people for their deeds immediately, not one creature would have survived on Earth. However, He has given them a respite for an appointed time and when their term comes to an end, let it be known that God watches over His servants” (35:45). It is in bringing together God’s justice and mercy that the possibility for harmony is created. God’s Mercy Gives Us More Than We Deserve If justice is giving you what you deserve, then mercy is when you are given more than you deserve or could ever earn. By virtue of His infinite generosity, Allah is always looking to multiply the rewards for our good deeds, and minimize our wrongs. As the Qur’an says, “Whoever brings a good deed, he shall have ten like it, and whoever brings an evil deed, he shall be recompensed only with the like of it; and they shall not be dealt with unjustly” (6:160). Despite the countless displays of God’s unending mercy, some people still proclaim that God is unjust. However, God by His very definition cannot be unjust to us. Justice is when you get exactly what you deserve, but what can we earn in relationship to a God who needs nothing and gives us everything? Can you pray enough to the One who gave you a tongue, a mouth, a body and an existence? How can God be unjust if He takes something from you, when He is the owner of everything in existence including you? God is not unjust, it is we who are unjust. We are the ones who withhold from God what He already owns. As the Qur’an says, it is we who have “wronged ourselves” with choices that we have made (7:23). It is not God who oppresses us. God makes this clear when He says, “Oh My servants! I have forbidden oppression for Myself, and I have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another.”13 We must remember that everything we do, say, or give to Allah already belongs to Him. God doesn’t owe us a single thing and yet He constantly gives to us, breathes life into us, loves and cares for The Quran is not a destination or wall, it is a window, it provides us a view into the essence of Allah.” Secrets of Divine Love: A Spiritual Journey into the Heart of Islam is an inspiring guide that will lead you towards the hidden meaning of the Qur'an through passion and joy. Written with care and precision, Helwa’s metaphoric insights invite you on her earnest search for truth and understanding. By accessing the inner workings of the Islamic tradition, your struggles in faith will be met with a deeper connection to Allah rooted in compassion.

The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will turn you into an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you.” WERNER HEISENBERG, PIONEER OF QUANTUM PHYSICS But what if a sense of peace was a possibility in the here and now?
